What did it use to look like exactly, this "deployable" software? Going back to the birth of web 2.0 we had Perl, PHP, Java(?), .Net Framework a few years later. These all required tons of pre-configured infrastructure on the servers to run..

It's just a tool with many uses. I CAN deploy my Asp.Net app as a self-contained(even single) file.. But the size of updates is smaller between images if I copy the app into an image that already has the .Net and Asp.Net library code in the base layers.
